‎Jean-Baptiste Charcot. Explorateur des mers, navigateur des pôles‎

‎Grenoble, Glénat, 2006, in-4 rel. cart. (25 x 33), 191 p., coll. "Exploration de la terre", ouvrage présenté par Jean Bastié et la Société de Géographie, préface de Anne-Marie Vallin-Charcot (petite-fille du commandant Charcot), riche iconographie en n. et en coul. (documents inédits issus des archives de la famille Charcot), bel envoi de l'auteur à Monique Delort Azzopardi, fille du marin qui a servi en 1933 comme quartier-maître timonier sur le "Pourquoi-Pas ?", jaquette, bon état.‎

‎Comblant une longue absence de la France dans le domaine de la recherche polaire - depuis la découverte de la Terre Adélie par Dumont d'Urville en 1840 Charcot allait effectuer deux importantes expéditions en Antarctique, premièrement avec le Français en 1903-1905, puis à bord du Pourquoi Pas ? en 1908-1910. Les résultats de ces missions furent impressionnants : des milliers de kilomètres de côtes reconnues, des cartes marines d'une telle précision qu'elles sont encore utilisées un quart de siècle après par des pêcheurs de baleine, des milliers de photographies. Naviguant dans des conditions extrêmes à la lisière de la banquise, Charcot longe la Terre de Graham et découvre à 70º sud un territoire totalement inconnu qu'il baptise "Terre Charcot" en l'honneur de son père. Abondamment illustré par de nombreux documents inédits issus des archives de la famille Charcot, ce livre rend compte aussi des nombreuses missions scientifiques conduites par Charcot dans les mers du nord : aux îles Féroé, à Jan Mayen, en Islande et sur la côté oriental du Groenland où il collabore aux recherches de l'explorateur danois Mikkelsen, et où en 1934, il installe la mission ethnographique de Paul-Emile Victor. L'ultime chapitre de l'ouvrage évoque les conditions dramatiques du naufrage du Pourquoi Pas ? le 15 septembre 1936 au large d'Islande. Pris dans une tempête cyclonique, le navire se brise contre des récifs et sombre avec les membres de l'équipage. Il n'y a qu'un seul survivant, le maître-timonier Gonidec qui réussit à gagner la côte à la nage. Voir le sommaire sur photos jointes.‎

‎Arno Press & The New York Times New York 1971. Later Edition. Hardcover Original Cloth. Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. 1971 Physician Travelers Edition: 2 Volumes 464 and 467 pages illustrated with b/w plates 3 maps and charts 2 folding sketches reproductions of engravings on steel and wood from sketches by the author. Original covers no dust jacket as issued. Minor shelf wear contents clean. A lovely modern set of the account of the voyage to Smith Sound and of the winter on the north-west coast of Greenland with extensive notes on the flora and fauna. No one had yet sailed beyond its northern portals. Kane determined to do so. John P. Kennedy secretary of the navy gave enthusiastic personal support and Henry Grinnell donated the brig Advance. Private subscription financed the enterprise.No trace of Franklin’s party was found by the expedition but the coasts of Kane Basin were charted and Kennedy Channel was discovered .Meteorological magnetic astronomical and tidal observations botanical glacial and geological surveys studies of animal and Eskimo life established sound foundations for the scientific study of the Arctic.In August 1854 Hayes the surgeon and eight men protesting the commander’s resolve to remain a second winter announced their determination to hazard the journey to the South Greenland settlements. Kane sanctioning the withdrawal equipped them from limited supplies. In December they returned to the vessel broken in body and morale. Kane became doctor nurse and cook to a shipful of bedridden men. With indomitable courage he planned and then executed their escape. The Advance still frozen in was abandoned May 20 1855. With the loss of one man the party carrying the invalids reached Upernivik in eighty-three days a retreat which stands in the annals of Arctic exploration as archetype of victory in defeat.
